Southern Italian Turkey Pasta Puttanesca {w/Video}

I didn’t grow up having traditional “Sunday dinners”, however, my husband’s family did. When we were first married and when our children were little, we ALWAYS went to my in-laws for a big dinner every weekend.

As the years went by and my in-laws became older, the dinners were held more and more often at our home. Even now, with our grown children scattered across the country, it is a tradition my hubby and I continue each week.

And, both of our kids, even though they live alone, almost always make a big dinner on the weekend and have leftovers for lunches and quick dinners for the upcoming week. The dinner tradition lives on!

However, turkey is not just for Sunday!

It’s so easy to prepare and with a variety of cuts available, it’s very versatile too. Thighs, breasts, drumsticks, sausages and ground turkey are all readily available, making it super easy to try to include turkey in every meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Turkey is also a very economical option, which makes a big difference when trying to watch your dollars and cents. Plus, it’s light, lean and packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, making turkey an easy and healthy choice any day of the week.

I have to admit, though, one of my favourite dinners to make is a traditional roast turkey. Not only is a whole roast turkey dinner economical, it’s an easy, no muss, no fuss meal to prepare and has the huge benefit of leftovers!

With the leftovers, I have made everything from turkey pizzas to bbq turkey clubs, turkey soup to turkey tacos and turkey stir fry to turkey casseroles.

But, today I want to share with you a fabulous recipe for, Southern Italian Turkey Pasta Puttanesca. It is made with turkey sausage (found at your local grocery store) and is certain to become a family favourite. It is so tasty and “bonus”…easy to make any night of the week.

The Turkey soup or turkey pasta look amazing! I’ve never used my turkey to make a soup that looks like that or a pasta inspired by the south and they both look delicious! I would love to try either recipe.

My husband and I like turkey alot. We eat all kinds of receipes however when we have company or family we love to serve Roast Whole Turkey. It is a delicious meal for all. Some like dark meat/light meat/breast or legs. It’s nice to be able to give everyone what they like. Turkey is moist and yummy.
